    Hi everyone

    Can you help identify this 'fruit' . Its on a tree in the mothers house - I cant remember seeing fruit on it before (planted 6/10 tears back) - but I didnt take much notice. My mother tasted it (serious!) and says its sweet. The tree is laden down with these - there about 2 to 3 inches round

    Cheers


    Conor

    Looks like a greengage (type of plum)

    Hard to tell from size but I'd say a plum. Should ripen to golden or plum colour!!
